The first football game of Daming ended with a huge disparity, but it was a happy situation for all. 【Reading.com】

Needless to say, the onlookers were originally supporters of Zhengde, and the same as the Liaodong people called Xie Hong, the people of the capital now call Zhengde 'our emperor'. From this unique name, it is easy to feel the eagerness, or fanaticism, and the heat in it is increasing with each other.

In addition, following the baseball game, there is a more exciting football, starting next year, the capital will definitely be more lively, the people are looking forward to it, and they are all happy.

The noble subordinates were still a little disappointed, but the upper and lower effects, the old men were smiling brightly, what reason did they have to cry and mourn? The old man's face turned into a flower on his face, and Bao Guogong's expression was not exaggerated, but how do you look like an old fox who just stole a chicken, it was a good thing that Dingguo Gong and his sons lost?

In fact, not only did the subordinates think so, Xu Guangzuo and the others were not very depressed, they were really unconvinced at the beginning, but when they kicked it back, they also slowly figured out some taste. Of course, it was definitely useless to sharpen their guns in battle, they didn't have the tacit understanding between them like the Guards, so although they occasionally succeeded in counterattacking, they still ended in defeat.

However, the more they played, the more interesting it became. The reason why football can be popular all over the world in later generations is also quite unique charm, these sons and brothers are also very good at playing, how can they not find the fun in it?

What's more, there is nothing to be ashamed of losing to the emperor, Xu Guangzuo behaved impulsively, but he also had Zhu Hui's advice beforehand, he knew very well that the current ending was the best result, just look at the emperor's expression.

Zhengde is indeed very happy, fighting with others, the fun is endless, this is the charm of competitive sports, for Zhu Houzhao, who is lonely like snow and always can't find an opponent, today's game really makes him feel comfortable, because the reason for winning the game is not his personal skills, but his tactical arrangement.

Of course, there is no perfect thing in the world, and when everyone seems to be happy, there are actually some people who are depressed and have gloomy expressions.

Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others are self-conscious, and they will never come to Xiyuan to watch this unseemly game, however, out of concern for Xungui, there are still scholars present, and they observe very carefully, Zhang Mao and Zhu Hui's private words are not conspicuous, but the changes in the expressions of the two are still seen by these caring people.

After the results of the game came out, from Zhang Mao's relieved smile, they realized a terrible fact, that is, the power of the imperial power has increased again, and many nobles in Yanjing City have been won over in one game.

These dark-looking people quickly disappeared, although according to the prior arrangement, Xiyuan would also hold a gala, which was said to be jointly held by Houdefang and Lichunyuan, which should be very exciting, but they still had no intention of watching it.

The grim situation of the court has made them almost sleepless, and where do they get the mood to appreciate these?

Some of these people returned to their homes, but many more gathered in the same place, which was the residence of Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the current dynasty.

Under the pretext of Chinese New Year's Eve, the stalwarts of the Shi Party gathered again and gathered in the main hall of the Li Mansion, although it was a celebration of the New Year, but the atmosphere was not festive at all.

"It's tricky......" Li Dongyang rubbed his hands, as if there were really thorns in his hands.

"The British public is known for being virtuous, could it be some misunderstanding?" After serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it was the first time that Zhou Jing was invited to participate in a discussion of this scale, but he was not happy at all, because there was no good news when he took it out.

"Hmph, after all, after all, after being a vulgar martial artist, he doesn't understand the righteousness of the sages, and of course he will forget his righteousness at this time." Wang Wei snorted coldly, he was also in a bad mood now, although the plan to attack Lushun was already in full swing, but if the nobles also took refuge in the emperor, then the imperial power would become more and more difficult to control.

During the founding of the People's Republic of China, the reason why the emperor was able to suppress the scholars was that after these martial arts, they had private soldiers in their hands, coupled with contacts all over the army, and cooperated with the emperor to firmly control the military power in their hands.

During that period, the struggle between the scholars and the imperial power was obscure, as they did not have the strength to confront it head-on. And now, after Zhengde has the support of Xie Hong's new martial arts, he has successfully won over a group of old nobles, and the balance of strength is more and more inclined to the side of imperial power.

In this way, even if the battle of Raider Lushun achieves the best effect, the comparison of strength will not change much, how can Wang Wei not worry?

"There is also a move in Tianjin, Yan Weizhong is also unwilling to be lonely, and finally shows his minions......" Yang Tinghe opened his mouth with a deep groan, he paid attention to a wide range of people, and when everyone else focused on Lushun, the capital or the border town, he kept staring at Tianjin, which had no movement, so he got the news there for the first time.

"Tianjin? Are they finally going to attack Shandong? However, why is there no movement here in the capital? Xu Jin, the secretary of the ministry, was shocked, although he was struggling in the ministry now and could not fully control it, he could at least receive the news about the appointment and dismissal of officials.

At present, there are only two modes for the emperor to carry out personnel replacement, one is to promote from the officials, most of the officials are from poor families, and they are not very ambitious, and the specific affairs in the yamen are originally handled by them, so in the various yamen in the capital, these people are encroaching on the power that originally belonged to the scholars.

The other part, of course, is the academy established by Xie Hong. There are not many graduates of the academy, and the members of the political participation group who served as staff officers for Zhengde have not yet graduated, and after Wang Shouren officially became the principal, the threshold for graduation has also become higher, especially for the School of Political Science and Law.

Generally speaking, in order to control a certain place or implement a certain policy, the first thing to do is to change personnel, and without a group of subordinates to carry out orders or wave flags, no matter how great the ability of the people in charge of the government is, they will not be able to display it.

Therefore, when Yan Song was appointed as the governor of Denglai, the scholars had already sounded the alarm in their hearts, knowing that the power of the imperial party was going to expand to Shandong. But even so, Wang Jianzhi still dared to contact the North Korean side in Dengzhou, because apart from Yan Song, Shandong's personnel had not changed much. Therefore, he can be sure that the other party has not yet attacked Shandong.

And Xu Jin's question is also due to this.

"Xie Hong is very cunning, he knows that there are many righteous people in Shandong, even if they are forced by the chaos in the palace, it is difficult to completely control the place with those officials who have no frugality, so he uses the method of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle."

With a look of hatred on his face, Yang Tinghe took out two rolls of yellow paper from his sleeve, spread them out on the table, and explained: "This is Tianjin's recruitment and investment announcement...... Not only Denglai Erfu, but the entire Shandong prefecture and county have been posted all over, and now it is spreading to Hebei, this one is obtained from Hejian Mansion. ”

"Phew!" After reading the notice intently, there was a gasp in the hall.

The content of the recruitment notice is naturally recruitment. It ranges from craftsmen who know how to trade, construction workers who work hard, apprentices who know nothing, and even women who do textiles, and farmers who are willing to leave their hometowns for border towns...... It can be said that as long as you are a healthy person and willing to work hard, you can find your place here.

Merchants and the previous recruitment of maritime merchants are a routine, but this time there is no need to go to sea, but to open a factory and set up a store in Tianjin.

However, it was not these that surprised the scholars, but the remuneration written clearly on the notice. Not to mention, the lowest apprentices and laborers alone are already staggering, with a monthly salary of two taels!

You must know that the monthly salary of officials from Jiupin is only five stone rice, and according to the current average price, that is, two and a half pieces of silver, the recruitment salary from Tianjin is actually about the same as that of officials from Jiupin, how can this not make people's hearts beat?

What's more, the monthly salary of two taels is also the lowest among the workers, only people who don't know anything are this kind of treatment, as long as they have a little craftsmanship, the salary is basically on par with Qipinzhi County. If it is highly skilled, not to mention, Xie Hong has always been very generous, which is known to the world.

The low salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty are actually relative, and if they are simply based on the numbers on the surface, they are not as exaggerated as the legends.

Five stone rice is more than 700 catties of rice, if it is a small family, how can it be enough to eat in a month. However, since he has become an official, of course he can't live a tight life, even if he is a petty official from the ninth grade. There is no upper limit to luxury, concubines, mansions, and ceremonial money, etc., of course, the monthly salary of two and a half is not enough.

In addition, the officials of the Ming Dynasty also have a characteristic, that is, they do not do practical things, and the so-called governing the country and the world is just signing and making decisions in the office.

Therefore, after they go to work, they must also hire a group of staff, at least a master or something. Of course, the imperial court will not take care of this kind of expenditure, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that the great Confucians he tried his best to encircle were actually all showmanship, only lip service, and the ability to calculate people, and when it fell into practice, they were all blind.

Therefore, these expenses can only be handled by the officials themselves, and as they come and go, the salaries of course seem to be very small. But this does not mean that the scholars do not understand the market, and the silver of the second or third taels of January is quite a generous salary, which is already very attractive to the common people, and then take into account the words of those tenant farmers...... The people of Shandong and Hebei flocked to Tianjin, and this scene immediately appeared in everyone's mind, water can carry boats, and can also overturn boats, the words of the former sage Wei Zheng are very reasonable, without the people who can be driven, how can the scholars have more fields?

It may not be obvious now, but in a few years, how can the gentry of Shandong and Hebei not give in? There was silence in the hall of the Li Mansion, except for the sound of heavy breathing.
